FOR NURSES AND CLINICAL PROVIDERS

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, which includes online testing and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and team-work skills.

Mission: To develop and disseminate evidence-based neonatal resuscitation education

Vision: To improve neonatal health by having an expert provider at every birth and an expert team at every resuscitation

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Use a common set of practices and advance standards across all responder disciplines.
• The National Traffic Incident Management Training Program equips responders with a common set of core competencies and assists them in achieving the TIM National Unified Goal of strengthening TIM programs in the areas of: Responder safety; Safe, quick clearance; and Prompt, reliable, and interoperable communications.

To address the critical need for improved training in manual ventilation, we offer an eye-opening, hands-on workshop led by Bob Page and his team of renowned speakers. In this course, you’ll learn how to ventilate patients using BVMs, masks, ET tubes, and supraglottic airways, all while utilizing state-of-the-art feedback devices that measure volumes and ventilatory rates. This innovative feedback and coaching system will provide you with valuable insights and skills to enhance your ventilation abilities.

Our course introduces the concept of High-Performance Ventilation (HPV), featuring the latest tools and techniques. Designed in an arena format, the class provides ample time for hands-on practice, ensuring you gain practical experience. Please note, this is not an airway class, but a specialized ventilation class that focuses on using advanced ventilation equipment and feedback devices. Discover the pillars of High-Performance Ventilation and significantly improve patient outcomes through this comprehensive training.

Additionally, the High Performance Ventilation course is a certifying course that rewards participants with training credits. This certification acknowledges the advanced skills and knowledge gained, contributing to your professional development and ensuring you are well-equipped to handle critical ventilation scenarios.

A course For EMS providers by Neonatal Care Professionals

This is a new course developed by neonatal & EMS experts (Sarah Curry NNP- NRP, Dusty Lynn RN- NR-P, and Dr. Alix Paget-Brown) that addresses the specific needs of the healthcare provider who may need to resuscitate a newly born in the out of hospital setting. Come join us as we present and encourage a lively discussion about birthing babies outside of the hospital environment. We will then have hands-on skills practice before we put it all together in simulation case studies. Besides our license and pre cite as a neonatologist, Neonatal nurse practitioner and experienced NICU nurse, we are also Paramedics, and are aware of the education provided in programs from Basic to Paramedic and can 100% say that there is a lack of content focused on neonates and pediatrics in general. Our class is specifically tailored to the EMS provider and the pre-hospital environment and every bit of information is pertinent (no fluff if you will).  We are also aware that the fiscal abilities of every agency/department are different and know that the few products we recommend are on the cost effective side or have the ability to qualify for grants. We also discuss safe transport of the neonate and with new regulations going into effect,

  Though some studies suggests that 3%–8% of newborns receive respiratory support during the first few minutes of life, only 0.1%–0.3% will require advanced cardiopulmonary interventions at birth. As a pre-hospital healthcare provider, not only are these patient encounters there are few classes, if any hands-on classes that address the specific needs of an EMS provider. The NRC is a four hour in-person class on newborn resuscitation taught by experienced health care providers who have had both newborn resuscitation and EMS experience and is totally focused on newborn resuscitations that may occur outside of the hospital setting. 

Included Core Skills

Antenatal emergencies

Postpartum bleeding

Assessment of the Newborn

Neonatal airway management

Ventilation of the Newborn 

Circulatory Support for the Newborne

Vascular Access

Care of the premature infant

Safety and transport of the newborn

This 8-hour course is designed for individuals - novice or experienced- who possess a working knowledge of ECGs. The day begins with a review of fundamental cardiac electrophysiology, including waveforms, intervals, and segments. Proper lead placement, which is crucial to acquiring a diagnostic quality ECG, will be deiscussed in detail. Pattern recognition is key to sucessful interpretation of a multi-lead ECG. To that end, the following topics will be discussed in detail, utilizing a systemic and methodical approach and hundreds of ECG tracings:

1. Cardiac axis determination (three methods)
2. Bundle Branch Blocks
3. Fascicular blocks (hemiblocks)
4. Atrial enlargement
5. Ventrical hypertrophy
6. Acute MI (STEMI/OMI, including mimics and equivilants)
7. Hyperkalemia

More than 6 million reportable crashes occur each year in the United States, resulting in 2 million injuries and more than 30,000 fatalities. When a crash can’t be prevented, the injury outcomes and impacts might be mitigated by access to medical care, protection of the scene, and preventing secondary crashes. Traffic Incident Management (TIM) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are important elements of post-crash care.

Training for responders promotes a shared understanding of the recommended practices for safety at traffic incident scenes. In-person, web-based, and virtual training are all delivery methods for the National TIM Responder Training Program, which has reached over 700,000 TIM responders. The challenge is getting the EMS discipline across the country to attend the training. According to FHWA training records, EMS is lagging other responder disciplines with only 37.6% of expected responders trained Nationally. The EMS community in some individual states have embraced the TIM training and found success, but for most of the country, TIM training for EMS remains elusive. Additional TIM trainers and champions are needed to move this important safety program forward in the EMS community.
